it's nonsense, she negated her statement while saying it. It is realistic, but it is bad writing. The fact that more writers don't notice it is why such bad writing is allowed to happen and why such stupid things are said by the general public. As much as I hate Dickens and Austin, at least they said what they meant in a way that conveyed that meaning to anyone who read it.

But if it's realistic, then what's the problem?

I hardly think bad grammar in Daredevil is going to hurt the children.

That was a fun little comic. It was not a masterpiece, but it was not dreck.

After an excuse to show our boy Ken shooting automatic weapons while playing Matt Hoffa off a motorcycle, we get some heavy exposition into a mission in the Congo interspersed with some origin type stuff that is more intriguing than the actual meat of the book.

The art is fun and playful, like the writing, nothing spectacular – either in a good or bad way.

Oh and Starlord, I can recommend very few books as highly as the first Agents of Atlas mini which is frakking brilliant. 48 is right, Parker has failed to recapture the excitement of that first mini. Probably because the original mini was not concerned with continuity and the two ongoings have tried to make it a continuity book and it is hurt by it.
